Stand tall, feet hip-width, core tight, shoulders back
Grip the EZ-bar on the angled grips, palms up, wrists straight
Let arms hang fully extended, elbows tucked to your sides
Curl the bar by bending your elbows; keep upper arms still
Squeeze the biceps at the top; don’t let elbows drift forward
Lower slowly to full extension; keep control, no bouncing
Breathe: exhale up, inhale down; move with a smooth tempo
Use a weight you can curl cleanly for 8–12 reps without swinging
